How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Fudge

This recipe is a breeze, making it perfect for bakers of all levels. You will melt the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk together, add in fresh raspberries, and then chill until firm. It’s as straightforward as that! You might even find yourself making this fudge time and again, given how satisfying both the process and the results are.

Ingredients

Here is what you will need for this delectable white chocolate raspberry fudge:

• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup raspberry puree (optional for swirls)
• Pinch of salt

Feel free to swap the fresh raspberries with frozen ones if that’s what you have on hand. Just remember that frozen raspberries may release more moisture, so be cautious about mixing.

Directions to Follow

1. Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until melted and smooth.
3. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
4. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
6. Drizzle raspberry puree over the top and swirl with a toothpick if desired.
7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
8. Cut into squares and enjoy.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Think about serving these fudgy delights at your next gathering with a side of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. The creamy texture and sweet, tangy flavor pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or a chilled glass of milk. You could also consider sprinkling some crushed nuts on top for an added crunch or serving alongside a chocolate sauce for dipping.

How to Store & Freeze

To keep your white chocolate raspberry fudge fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for about a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the fudge by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and placing it in a freezer-safe bag. It can last for up to three months in the freezer. Just thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.

Helpful Cooking Tips

For the best results, make sure not to overheat the chocolate mixture; melting it over low heat will prevent any burning and ensure a smooth fudge. If you want more pronounced raspberry flavors, opt for increased raspberry puree when swirling, as it adds both visual appeal and a tangy kick.

Another tip is to use a clean knife when cutting the fudge, wiping it between cuts so you can achieve neat squares that look as good as they taste.

Creative Twists

While this recipe shines as is, you can always put your spin on it. Consider adding a hint of lemon zest for an extra citrusy note or incorporating different berries. For those looking for a chocolatey twist, try adding dark chocolate chips alongside the white chocolate for a striking contrast.
